This atonishing impressive braconid was have the body size of a hornet and an oviscapt of about 13 centimeters!!!!!It was flying at Bioparque Amaru, a zoological park in the periphery of the city of Cuenca, Ecuador, surrounded by dry tropical Andean forest.Braconid expert Donald Quicke this that it's probably a Compsobracon but then "for sure an undescribed species".I hope that some day it can be identified.
